With special articles on acupuncture and moxibustion as the focus,a preliminary comparison of the acupuncture and moxibustion literature of Qianjin Yaofang in the Song dynasty imperial version and the newly carved version were made.It was found that there were 52 different points in these two versions,96 different points and 22 different points names.A large number of acupuncture and moxibustion literature has been updated.The analysis of comparative results showed that the order of articles in the the Song dynasty imperial version was more strict,the establishment of articles topics was more accurate,the classification of treatment prescriptions,acupoints and their indications were more orderly and reasonable,the names and positioning of acupoints were more standardized and unified,the types of diseases,indications of diseases,and acupuncture and moxibustion contraindications were more abundant,which enhanced the systematic and integrity of the academic framework of acupuncture and moxi-bustion literature in Qianjin Yaofang and strengthened the clinical practicability of the book.On the other hand,there were a number of mistakes and a large number of changes in the original books,according to the unknown documents.Considering the particularity of the work of the Song Dynasty which is dominated by scholars and ministers,it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive and systematic investigation on the idea,principle,method formula and specific content of the Song Dynasty's collation of the acupuncture and moxibustion literature of Qianjin Yaofang,distinguish the academic rules and regulations,and identify the right and wrong,so as to make effective use of the text data and provide references for related research.
